Age of Adepts

"What the Flame King Gromes wants to find is the Divine Stone of Light..."

"This is an extremely rare magic material, and it will only be born in places where the power of light and the power of fire are strong..."

"I guess Gromes is looking for the Divine Stone of Light and Flame to use its power to correct part of his law of fire. If it can convert part of the power of fire into the power of light, its movement speed will undoubtedly be greatly increased..."

"Not long ago, an expedition team from the Wizards Association discovered an ancient ruin in a foreign world, and the blazing stone was one of the trophies... Now, the blazing stone has fallen into a 4th-order Olivia from the Wizards Association. In the hands of the witch..."

After hearing Alice's explanation, Greem couldn't help but frowned and said, "Since that Mesa wants to blackmail Groms with the Divine Stone of Light and Flame, why doesn't she control the Divine Stone in her own hands, instead letting it leak out?"

"Because this is her way of doing things!" Alice said with a light smile, "She is a seventh-level witch who has controlled the power of fate for tens of thousands of years. The network of relationships weaved from this must be extremely complicated. It’s unimaginable for ordinary people.”

"Everyone knows that the Witch of Destiny doesn't have much fighting power! Then, what method does Meisha use to mobilize and dominate so many powerful people in the plane? It relies on the subtle and magical power of fate!"

"She uses the power of fate to spy on the privacy of those strong people. Once she discovers the needs of the other party, she will do everything possible to push the power of fate to make the other party out of reach. In this way, the other party can't get what she wants. Can turn to her for help, and then can only obey Meisha's arrangement..."

"Just relying on similar means to weave a terrifying big net, engulfing many powerful people in the plane, everyone is just a puppet, a node of her big net..."

"I dare say that the reason why the expedition team of the Wizarding Association was able to discover the ancient ruins is definitely due to the help of Mesa. In this way, she only needs to reveal a little bit of information, and she doesn't have to do anything herself to make Groms want The obtained Divine Stone of Light and Flame is 'hidden' in a place that it cannot touch at all."

"The wizarding world, the Wizarding Association... Don't look at that Groms is a fifth-level flame king, but such a title will definitely not scare that witch named Olivia. Therefore, Groms knows that the flame god stone is in It can't get it anywhere, so it can only go back and beg that Meisha..."

"It's so complicated!" Greem listened quietly, and couldn't help sighing secretly: "Alice, you won't become such a fateful voyeur in the future, right?"

"Where are you thinking..." Alice sighed: "If her method works, it won't cause the will of the wizarding world to backlash against her. Those who play with fate are destined to be spurned by fate! "

"So, you became her gravedigger, adhering to the will of the wizarding world to deal with her?"

"It's not enough to deal with her. At most, it can only be regarded as destroying her plan to continue to control the fate of the wizarding world. Inside the wizarding world, I will be protected by the will of the world from her plotting. But once I step out of the wizarding world , many things will become more and more complicated, and it will become more and more difficult to control."

Greem shook his head and laughed: "This is probably the common problem of you witches of fate. For any matter, you must grasp all the ins and outs, control all variables and unknowns, and reduce the danger to zero before you are willing to take action yourself. Actually, for me, there are With a 70% to 80% certainty, it is worth going to Bo Yipu!"

Alice sternly said: "Greem, you must not have such an idea! We like to control things 100% before doing anything. It's not because of the pursuit of perfection, but because we know that fate is unpredictable... For you In other words, even if a matter that is 99% successful, if it falls into the hands of our fate witch, we can completely destroy it with the remaining 1%."

"For us witches of fate, there is no 99% or 1%, either 100%, or absolutely impossible... There is no room for an intermediate state!"

"So powerful?" Greem couldn't help but say, "But I don't think that Meisha is too powerful to match!"

"That's because we are blessed by the long river of fate in the wizarding world, which prevents the other party from prying into our secrets. And many of the things she thinks she sees are distorted or obscured by the long river of fate. Therefore, That's why she has always misjudged your strength, not only failed to cut you off, but made you grow stronger..."

"What about this time? How should we go about capturing that blazing divine stone?" Although he heard a lot of unbelievable and unacceptable things, Greem still maintained an optimistic attitude.

"I don't know!" Alice spread her hands.

"I don't know?" Greem's eyes widened, and it was the first time he heard this sentence from Alice's mouth: "How could you not know..."

"Because there are so many doubts behind this incident, and there are so many dark clouds, I can't get a glimpse of many places."

"First of all, that Meisha had dozens or even hundreds of ways to hide the Divine Stone of Light and Flame from being found by Groms. But she sent the Divine Stone to the Wizarding World, and it fell into the hands of the Wizarding Association... I can smell a strong smell of conspiracy in it!"

"You mean, she has foreseen this scene, so she wants to cause conflicts between us and the Wizarding Association?" Greem narrowed his eyes slightly, and his expression became serious.

"This is an obvious thing! Because of the last self-destruct attack, the Wizarding Association has already had conflicts with you. In addition, the rapid rise of the Crimson Family has attracted the attention and attention of the three major wizarding organizations. Be vigilant. If you come to the door at this time, those association wizards will definitely not give you a good look..."

"Will they besiege me?" Greem scratched his head.

"That's not true! The Wizarding Association is, after all, one of the three well-known wizarding organizations. It is a big taboo to openly besiege and kill high-ranking wizards from other organizations or regions!"

"Then what am I afraid of?" Greem smiled, and his words were full of strong confidence: "Solo fights or competitions, these are the tricks, as long as they are not afraid of losing face, I will follow..."

Alice sighed leisurely, reached out and gently stroked the corners of Greem's flying brows and eyes, and said, "Grim...Grim...what on earth gave you such confidence that you don't even care about such a giant as the Wizards Association? In eyes?"

Greem said proudly: "Of course it's my strength...plus your support!"

Alice still sighed and said, "It's better not to fight or not to fight... If you want to fight, you will die. If there are too many enemies, you will suffer backlash one day!"

"I understand all these reasons. Don't worry, I will properly handle the relationship between the Crimson Family and the Wizarding Association!"

After receiving Greem's assurance, Alice nodded silently.

…………

After returning from the Northland, Greem only stayed on the Flame Throne for a few days before boarding the airship to the east.

Before leaving, he threw all the third-level flame cores obtained from the Fire Elemental Plane to Meryl, which also made the latter jump with joy. In order to cope with possible changes, Greem brought along the bug witch Bliss who had already advanced to the third level.

In this way, all the troubles that may be encountered along the way are left to Billis to deal with, while Greem concentrates on studying the fifth-level flame creature template with a trace of outline. In his spare time, he also transformed the 4th-level Molten Crystal into a Molten Beast Golem.

Although its combat strength is much worse than that of Shadow Demon, it is still a Tier 4 creation after all, and it is more than enough to deal with ordinary scenes.

This is an airship belonging to the Wizards Association, and it is equipped with a Level 2 wizard and five Level 1 wizards according to the basic rules. Coupled with the rune wizard array etched on the hull, it is more than enough to deal with the Black Forest monsters encountered on the road.

The floating airship, which resembled a black and brown sailboat, rose from the pier of Minsell Airport, and slowly plunged into the black forest under the support of a strong wind elemental airflow.

Ralph, the second-level wizard of the association responsible for protecting the airship, patrolled the flight deck as usual, and found nothing unusual, so he was satisfied and prepared to return to his room.

But as soon as he turned around, his eyes accidentally caught sight of two black figures standing quietly on the poop deck, and he couldn't help but stop walking towards the entrance of the cabin.

The ones who can travel between Scattered Tallinn and the association's territory by airship are either official wizards or some extremely high-status human nobles. However, no matter which one it is, it is impossible to escape Ralph's spiritual perception.

But for some reason, when Ralph's eyes fell on those two shadows, he always had a strange feeling of fear. It was as if those standing there were not two wizards, but two peerless beasts that could devour him without leaving any bones...

Ralph was stunned for a moment, and with his right hand hidden in his sleeve, he immediately grasped the rune crystal that could control the witch formation on the ship, and silently read the information inside.

With his second-level wizard mental power, he filtered through the list of wizards who boarded the ship in Minsel almost instantly, and quickly found the registration information of these two passengers.

Green and Billy... two very ordinary, very inconspicuous names.

But on the note below the two names, Ralph saw a harsh word: Crimson Family!

Crimson family? This family has been very powerful in Sandalin these days... What are they going to do in the association territory at this time?

Being able to evade my own spiritual perception and not trigger the energy scan of the witch array, they are most likely high-level wizards who have hidden their identities... But the high-level wizards of the Crimson Family seem to be able to count them themselves, they... …

Ralph pretended to browse the scenery and scenery below him, but secretly observed the two of them secretly.

For some reason, he always felt somewhat familiar with one of the weird and distorted figures.

Suddenly, he frowned and realized who the other party was.

The worm witch Billis... one of them turned out to be the most difficult guy among the third-level wizards of the Crimson family.

What was he doing at the Wizarding Guild?

Ralph couldn't help frowning again and thinking hard.
